I believe your photos should feel like memories: real, a little imperfect, but full of heart.


MEET KATIE BRADHAM

I’m Katie, a photographer with a heart for nostalgia and a love for capturing stories that feel as real as they are timeless. Born and raised in Charleston, South Carolina, I’ve always been drawn to the rhythm of the Southeast. The salt air, the slow mornings, and the way golden light filters through oak trees just before sunset.

Now, I have the privilege of documenting wedding weekends across the Southeast, from Charleston and Savannah to the Carolinas and beyond. I’m inspired by celebrations that feel intentional yet effortless, where design and emotion come together to tell a story that’s deeply personal.

My approach blends editorial composition with honest, documentary storytelling. I’ll gently guide when needed, but more often I step back, letting laughter, movement, and real connection lead the way. The result is imagery that feels elevated yet true, polished yet full of life.

When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll usually find me in Charleston with my people (and golden retriever), soaking up slow mornings on the beach, good food, and the simple joys that just make life feel full. These everyday moments are what inspire me to see and photograph love the way I do.

In my personal life, I LOVE all the little nostalgic details. As a 2026 bride myself, I’ve rediscovered the magic of the little moments.
